Excerpt from The Writing of the Short StoryIn the author's classes the three stories in the volume entitled "Three Hundred Dollars" are first studied because of their simplicity, and these are followed by parts of "The Bonnie Brier Bush," and then by the stories from Bret Harte. Mrs. Phelps Ward's "Loveliness" is especially valuable for illustrating methods and devices for making a simple theme dramatically interesting. Students are required to mark stories with the symbols and discuss them with reference to the principles of which this little book is an exposition, but no recitation on the book itself is required. Perhaps one-third of the time in the class-room is spent in discussion of the short themes written by the class, and when convenient these are placed on the board before the class for that purpose. In the theme work following the suggested subjects the effort is made to confine instruction and practice to one thing at a time, but at the conclusion of the work of the term each member of the class is required to hand in a complete original story.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the Author A prolific poet and professor of English at Drake University, Lewis Worthington Smith published numerous poems and plays in his tenure. He was a versatile master of technique, while at the same time vivid and vital. He was described as being able to not sacrifice thought to form or rhythm and rhyme to the follies of free verse. In History of Drake University, Smith is classified as, “One of the writers of verse in the past third of a century who has dared to ignore the fatuous of the modern faddists. His verse has a lyrical quality superior to Sidney Lanier and is far richer in thought and perfection of form. He is as musical as Poe, with far more substance and spiritual vision.” Smith had his works published in such esteemed publications as the Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, and the New York Times. Of the many plays that Smith authored, his most acclaimed is “The Art of Life.” and was the leading comedy in Donald Robertson’s repertoire of plays. In Smith’s 38 years at Drake University he was a member of the Poetry Society of America, he founded the English Club at Drake, and bolstered and improved the English department by adding classes and expertise. He also established the Drake chapter of the national writing fraternity, Sigma Tau Delta. Smith became the Dean of the Graduate Division in 1938.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Old Book, But Insightful By MomAndADad I have taken two fiction writing classes now that I'm in college, but I love the way that Lewis Worthington Smith has given us information on the basics of what goes into a short story. If you need to write short stories and you feel like you don't know the framework of what goes into doing so, read this book, or just skim the parts that you find necessary.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A Source Book for Writers By Amazon Customer As an ex-english teacher I found the "teaching" part of this book confusing. There were definitions for words that didn't need to be defined like incidents or events to help expain what a plot is. This is meant to be a college writing book and these words would have been defined in grade school. The writer suggests looking at pieces of writing and analyzing for mood, setting and descriptions of characters. Although this is not a bad practice that you might employ once or twice a year, it tends to make a person very negative as they read. I do highly suggest the list of writing exercises in the back for a springboard of daily writing practice to hone your skills.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Technical and boring. By Calliopenjo It's an interesting book about what's in a short story and the analysis there of. That's fine, however, it's a little more technical than I think it should be. Maybe instead of being technical and reading more like a textbook, it could be a little more plain. Maybe then it might be a little more interesting.
